About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X800
The SC160X800 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty linear actuation. At 0.5 MPa it generates 10053 N pushing and 9425 N pulling, scaling to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 threads and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads. The 800 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 160, and the tie-rod construction with a body length of 239 mm provides a rigid, serviceable platform.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X800 Is Used
Heavy Pallet Lifting
Provides the high force needed to lift and stack loaded pallets in material handling systems, with adjustable cushioning to manage the rapid descent of heavy goods.
Industrial Press Actuation
Delivers up to 18095 N of clamping force for forming, stamping, or assembly presses, where the tie-rod design allows for field maintenance in demanding production environments.
Large Gate & Damper Control
Operates heavy ventilation dampers or sliding gates in processing plants, using the 800 mm stroke for full-open to full-close movement against high back-pressure.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X800 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application needs between 10053 N and 18095 N of push force. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC125 bore saves space and air consumption while still providing 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. For heavier demands, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at the same pressure.
At an 800 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is robust, but any significant side load requires an external guide or rod support to prevent bending and premature bearing wear. For a drop-in replacement, match five points: 160 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X800 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC160X800 produces a theoretical push force of 14074 N. The maximum force at 0.9 MPa is 18095 N. Force is calculated by multiplying the piston area by the air pressure.
This specific model (SC160X800) does not have the built-in magnet. To use CMSG or DMSG sensors, order the SC160X800-S variant with the 'S' suffix. The standard model requires external limit switches for position sensing.
